Long day tomorrow folks - which calls for bed.

Enjoyed meeting you all - some have made me smile, some have stimulated discussion, some have irritated beyond belief until I reminded myself that it's only tv - only a forum!

Alex didn't win - so presumably most of you will be back next year - whatever - it's been a blast.

Bye Ignazio, hope I haven't irritate you too much!!!

Not at all my friend - reasoned discussion is stimulating -though one cannot always argue with irrationality - but hey - tomorrow we will all return to our jobs in the workaday world, convinced that we know far better than Sir Alan what makes the ideal apprentice.

Is it looks (Alex), a bit of posh (Raef and Lucinda), a bit of rough (Lee) or je ne sais quoi (covers a multitude of sins)!

Whatever - there's a glass of fizz with your name on it in the champagne thread.

I already had two glasses....
